Products

Dollygold Saffron

We define fresh saffron as a
saffron that is less than one year old. Some call it "Dollygold
Saffron". The best quality saffron comes from the current crop year.
That is why all of our products are marked on each package with the crop
year or packaging date.
Dollygold Saffron is a saffron which has a decent coloring capabilities
and has a pleasant aroma. Saffron's coloring capabilities come from the
red portion of the saffron threads and not the yellow portions that is
left uncut in lower grade saffron. Therefore a good quality saffron is a
saffron that is all red. This criterion is necessary but not
sufficient.

Why We

Saffron is known to be the world's
most expensive spice. Throughout history, dishonest dealers would
adulterate their saffron by adding similar materials for added weight or
by dyeing the lower quality saffron strands red, which is the sign of
good quality saffron. Lately, there are reports that cough syrups have
been found in some saffron and that a synthetic stigma is too difficult
to be distinguished from the real stigma being produced and sold at
lower prices. Pure saffron contains only the stigma of the Crocus flower
with nothing else added. The saffron we sell on this site is procured
by highly trusted suppliers that are well known world wide for their
quality for many decades.

Saffron Plant

There are only two or three places in the whole
world where saffron grows. Kashmir has the proud privilege of being one
of these places. There are two locations in Kashmir where saffron grows.
One of these two places is Pampore. Pampore is a small town, which is
13 km from Srinagar. The saffron plant is very small and its flower is
the only part which is seen above the ground. The blooming time of this
flower is autumn. Saffron has a unique sweet smell and is used in dyeing
and cooking.
